01 About Me

Turning ideas into reality

I'm a Computer Science student at Knox College with a 3.89 GPA, recognized on the Dean's List. My passion lies in building backend systems that solve real problems with clean, scalable code.

From social hiring platforms to live streaming infrastructure, I love diving deep into complex systems — whether it's designing RESTful APIs, building real-time WebSocket pipelines, or crafting responsive React frontends.

When I'm not coding, I serve as a Peer Math Tutor, helping fellow students master challenging mathematical concepts and build confidence in their academic journey.

Browser broadcasting pipeline: MediaRecorder → WebSocket → Go → FFmpeg → nginx-rtmp → HLS
RTMP ingest for OBS/Streamlabs with stream key auth and automatic go-live webhook
Chat replay synced to video timestamp using per-message offset_seconds
Redis viewer counts, WebSocket notification hub delivering stream-live events to subscribers
